How exactly does it work?
This little marvel of precision uses a simple yet ingenious technique. The egg slicer rests on a bell-shaped part that sits over the egg. By gently pulling the handle and then releasing it, an internal mechanism generates a controlled shock wave that cracks the shell in a clean, circular pattern.

The result: a carefully cracked egg, a yolk ready to receive your toast, and a flawless table.
